Giovanni Bernardino Nanino
Giovanni Bernardino Nanino , also Giovanni Bernardino Nanini , (* around 1560 in Vallerano , † 1623 in Rome ) was an Italian conductor and composer .
Life
He received his musical training from his older brother Giovanni Maria (around 1545–1607) and then worked as Kapellmeister in Rome and Damaso .
Together with his brother he was a very influential teacher, even if the alleged founding of Rome's first public music school by him and his brother has meanwhile been questioned. Among the students, some of whom he also taught together with his brother, are Felice Anerio , Gregorio and Domenico Allegri , Vincenzo Ugolini , Antonio Cifra , Domenico Massenzio , Paolo Agostini and Alessandro Costantini .
He created a number of madrigals and motets as well as other sacred vocal works. It should be noted that stylistically he freed himself more and more from Palestrina's influence, which still almost exclusively determined the work of his brother.
